The Rodney Drive Through Clinic is:

• Open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 6:00 am to 2:00 pm. ​

• Collection Methods: Nasopharyngeal, Oropharyngeal and Nares or Saliva

​

We no longer are accepting samples marked as Self-Pay on the clinical requisition. The only time “Self-Pay” is allowed is at the Outreach facilities when the patient pays at the time of service.   We have a system to do this via credit card payment onsite in the OP Lab and in the Encino Lab.  If the patient goes to either of those locations the patient must pay first and show a credit card receipt before they are registered for tests.

 

If the specimen is couriered to CHLA with a requisition that says self-pay it will discarded and the test will be canceled. The specimen will not be sent back to the office.

 

Here is the updated clinical requisition to reflect this change. Please make sure to bring the following items with you for your drive-through test. All forms can be found below:

• Clinical Requisition Form (please fill out the highlighted fields)

• CHLA COVID-19 Drive-Through Directions and Instructions

• Copy of your insurance card

 

Billing: Please note that we do not accept HMO insurance for drive-through testing.

In an effort to support you amid the COVID-19 crisis, CHLA offers testing for patients of Care Network members who meet testing criteria.  Specimen collections will be at the CHLA Drive-Through Covid-19 Testing Clinic.  

​

Results will be faxed to your office 48 - 72 hours after the lab receives the sample. It is then the responsibility of the provider to share results with the patient and/or family and inform the local County Department of Public Health of a positive test result.
